some of these riddles suck.
like:
THE RIDDLE:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Bill bets Craig $100 that he can predict the score of the hockey game before it starts. Craig agrees, but loses the bet. Why did Craig lose the bet?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE ANSWER:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bill said the score would be 0-0 and he was right. "Before" any hockey game starts, the score is always 0-0.


stupid :(




arrrrrrrg
stupid riddles suck!

THE RIDDLE:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


A magician was boasting one day at how long he could hold his breath under water. His record was 6 minutes. A kid that was listening said, "that's nothing, I can stay under water for 10 minutes using no types of equipment or air pockets!" The magician told the kid if he could do that, he'd give him $10,000. The kid did it and won the money. Can you figure out how?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE ANSWER:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The kid filled a glass of water and held it over his head for 10 minutes.

i noticed a lot of the riddles just require you to read the question carefully. theres nothing really tricky about them.

THE RIDDLE: What state is surrounded by the most water?

THE ANSWER: Hawaii. All of it is surrounded by water. Most people, amazingly enough, get this one wrong. They either say Maine, Florida, Alaska, or California.

~~~~~

The wording is still off on this one.

"What state is most surrounded by water?" would make Hawaii the right answer, but since HI doesn't have a very big perimeter, I certainly don't think it's surrounded by the MOST water.
